502 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROCHESTER MEETING 



He received the degree of D. Sc. from Princeton in 1877 and the de- 

 gree of LL. D. from Queen's University in 1890 and from McGill Uni- 

 versity in 1891. In the same year he was awarded the Bigsby gold 

 medal by the Geological Society of London for his services to the science 

 of geology, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. 



In 1893 he was elected President of the Royal Society of Canada. In 

 1896 he was President of the Geological Section of the British Association 

 for the Advancement of Science, at its Toronto meeting, and in 1897 was- 

 awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society. In 1900 

 (last year) he was President of this Society. Doctor Dawson also occu- 

 pied many other honorable positions and received many other distinc- 

 tions which can not here be mentioned. 



He usually enjoyed excellent health and had remarkable capacity for 

 hard work, but he succumbed very suddenly, on the 2d of March last, to 

 an attack of acute bronchitis, after an illness of but two days. He was a 

 man of even more versatile gifts than his father, but, like him, possessed 

 of an unusual combination of scientific insight, literary ability, and ad- 

 ministrative capacity. He was a man of broad views, clear and judicial 

 frame of mind, modest and retiring, but withal an excellent conversa- 

 tionalist. He won the esteem of all and his loss will be keenly felt by 

 his very large circle of friends.
